Remember the days of the old school yard

DECADES ago, future film star Errol Flynn walked the halls of this building as a student.

More recently, the 1913-built Albuera Street Schoolhouse underwent a complete transformation into four luxurious apartments.

Designed by local architects JAWS, the firm sought to peel away the unsympathetic additions that had been made over the years to reveal the building’s stately beauty.

Last week, No.1/23 Albuera Street in Battery Point was Tasmania’s most viewed home on realestate.com.au.

Street appeal.

Flynn’s former stomping ground.

Charlotte Peterswald for Property senior representative Debbie Heron described the

apartments as “unique”.

She said the building’s impressive transformation had been completed “sympathetically”, with the “beautiful building retaining its stunning integrity”.

“Among its many amazing features, the external appeal is outstanding,” Debbie said.

“The beautifully maintained surrounds, an exceptional feeling of space internally with all of the rooms of generous proportions, the ground-floor level access, the double garage with masses of storage, the ‘hobby room’ and the excellent security — this property has so much going for it.”
